Canada and Philippines Will Both Benefit From Increased Immigration

An increase in the number of Filipinos immigrants coming to Canada will be beneficial to both countries in the long term, according to a business leader.

Julian Payne, President of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce of the Philippines, says hard-working, tax-paying Filipinos are exactly what Canada needs.

On the flipside, Filipinos who come to Canada, gain valuable education and work experience, can return and have a positive impact at home later in their lives, Payne says.

He was talking after the visit of Immigration Minister John McCallum to the Philippines to deliver the message that Canada’s doors are open to new skilled workers, temporary foreign workers and international students.

At the same time, Canada’s world-renowned schools and universities are also ready to welcome new Filipino students.

Payne was responding to fears that more Filipinos moving to Canada would increase a perceive brain drain in that part of the world.

He responded by saying increased migration would assist the Filipino employment situation by allowing citizens to work abroad and gain valuable experience, before eventually returning to the Philippines as better qualified individuals.
